Zach1188 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 (I do not remember the exact kalyway version) Well, I installed Kalyway with mostly default settings. I left during installation, and returned to the final stages of the install. So I finished that up, and went to eject the DVD. It wouldn't eject, so I figured I wasn't running off the hard drive just yet. So I went a head and rebooted, removing the DVD. So I get a bios message, something along the lines of "No bootable hardware". {censored}. My thought was, maybe my Dell cannot read a Mac's MBR (long shot, but anyway). So I went and poked around in my bios settings, and it looks like my bios does not recognise my hard drive at all! {censored} again. So now I reboot again, with the DVD in the tray. It boots to the same desktop as before, except of course no more configuration needs to be done. It's pretty much fully functional, except no video or ethernet drivers, and audio does not seem to work. Now the strange part. From Mac (live CD type of thing, I'm guessing. Unless the DVD also acts as a "boot disk" to boot off the OSX partition), I have full access to my NTFS partition! This doesn't make sense to be at all, my hard drive cannot be fully wrecked if I still have access to it. All my files are there, and I can modify them in any way I could from Windows. Perhaps I will burn a Linux Live CD and see if that finds my hard drive, as well. Now if my hard drive isn't toast, why can't my bios detect it anymore? Edit: So I reinstalled OS X, now on boot I get a message "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/193330-severe-failure-installing-kalyway-os-105x-on-xps-410/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilpostus Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Be sure to select a bootloader in customize section. OS X will not boot without the proper boo loader.

Zach1188 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 (I am using Kalyway 10.5.2) I cannot find a boot loader under customize.

vilpostus Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Use another disk then. e.g. Kalyway 10.5.1. It has EFI boot loader (for MBR and GUID; use the corresponding version).
